all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and
to present evidence;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Planning Commission hereby deter-
mines and resolves as follows:
SECTION 1.. That there were no protests to the granting
01' the requested variance. That subject property is classified
Zone R-3 but tor some time past, under a variance, has been used for
the maintenance and operation of a restaurant; that the requested
use might in some ways be more desirable than its use as a restaurant
and less of a traffic hazard.

triangular shaped parcel of ground straddled on two sides by
heavily traveled ~horoughfares; that need for relief from restric-
tive provisions of the applicable R-3 zoning has for some time been
recognized and the granting of a variance from the provisions of
Ordinance No. 760 applicable to the property is necessary for the
preservation of substantial property rights of the applicant. That
the granting of the varianoe as hereinafter recommended will not be
incon,sistent with good planning praotice, nor with the provisions
of the master zoning plan, nor with the present or prospective
development of the neighborhood in which the property is located,
but ~ather in conformity with eaoh of the foregOing.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this COl1Dllis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Aroadia that a
varianoe be granted to permit the above desoribed property to be
used for the construction, maintenance and operation of an automo-
bile service station thereon upon the following conditions;
1. That a type liB" bumper fence be constructed along the
southeasterly property line for a distance of thirty-five (35) feet
from Colorado Place and from Colorado BouleVard; and that a oon-
crete block wall four (4) feet in height be constructed along the
balance of the southeasterly line of the property;
2. That the present 35-foot setback, established by
ordinance, be amended to allow the construction of pump islands at
a 20~foot setback instead of the l2-foot setback requested;
3. That the setback ordinance be turther amended to allow
the erection of signs at the pro!'B rty line;
4. That all other variances affecting subject property be
cancelled.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of
